Sir Alex Ferguson, Take A Bow

Sir Alex Ferguson has met his greatest challenge. He has knocked Liverpool off the now infamous perch and installed his Manchester United as the most successful club in English football.

What a ride it has been for fans all over the world. From Bryan Robson to Cantona to the Fergie Fledglings – Beckham, Nevilles and the evergreens in Giggs and Scholes – to warlords like Bruce and Keano and Van Nilsteroy, from superstars lime Cristiano Ronaldo to the current crop of grit and graft.

Well done you mighty Reds, thank you again and may the Reds keep marching On! On! On!
